All Reviews for Skydiving Hawaii & Air Adventures

It was skydiving from a height of 4,267 meters. Everything was a first-time experience and it was very valuable, but the instructor was very friendly and helped ease my nerves. At one point, due to some trouble with the airplane, we switched to a helicopter, but we were able to fly safely without any injuries. It was the best experience I've ever had! However, I did feel a bit nauseous while descending in a spiral with the parachute... Also, it's cold, so warm clothing is essential.

高度4267メートルからのスカイダイビングでした。何もかもが初めての体験で、とても貴重していましたが、インストラクターはとてもフレンドリーで緊張をほぐしてくれました。途中飛行機のトラブルか何かでヘリコプターに変わりましたが、無事に怪我なく、飛ぶことができました。今までに経験したことのない最高の体験でした！ただパラシュートで旋回しながらおりる時は少し気持ち悪くなりました…後は寒いので防寒必須です。

It was my sixth skydiving experience (first time in Hawaii), and it was amazing to see whales from the plane. My family was also thrilled after the jump. I definitely recommend it if you go to Hawaii!

６回目のスカイダイビング（ハワイは初めて）飛行機からクジラも見れて最高な時間でした家族も飛び終わった後は喜んでいました‍‍ ハワイに行ったら絶対お勧めします

We flew together as a couple ^_^. I was a little worried, but it was absolutely amazing! Supported by a strong instructor, we soared into the sky without hesitation! I became a bird without thinking about anything.

Don't expect a detailed explanation like in Japanese leisure activities; this is a self-responsibility leisure activity. You’ll be asked to sign many waivers, all in Japanese. I didn’t have time to read them, but I thought it wasn’t something to read thoroughly anyway.

Anyway, I highly recommend getting photos or videos! My husband ordered both photos and videos, while I just ordered photos! If you have an iPhone, they can send you the data via AirDrop on the spot. Definitely wear colorful clothing for the best visuals! ^_^ It’s cold at 4,200 meters, but there’s no time to feel cold! It gets hot once you land! Many people were flying in short sleeves. The instructors were dressed quite warmly, but everyone was colorful. ^_^

The Japanese guide at first seemed brusque, gave little explanation, and spoke in a commanding tone, which made me think, "What’s going on?" However, he turned out to be a deep and wise person with a rich life experience. I think opinions may vary, but it was definitely worth getting along with him! By the end, I was glad he was there! ^_^

We were grouped with a party of four women from Saga, and one of them was a wonderful girl who spoke English perfectly, so we became friends. After all, traveling is better with companions!

By trusting my body to the instructor and the flow of the wind, I was able to see the Earth from the sky. I removed my accessories, and my shoes were lace-ups, which made me feel secure. I was a bit worried they might come off since they looked like deck shoes, but it was fine.

On the return bus, a man who spun around when the parachute opened ended up getting sick, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious! Also, there seems to be a personal difference in how painful the ears can get. In either case, it takes time for the ears to return to normal.

If I get the chance again, I’ll wear colorful clothes, be mindful of the camera, and fly again! I’m so glad I did it! I was happy! Both my husband and I agreed! Thank you.

夫婦で飛びました^_^
すこーし心配してましたけど、
無茶苦茶良かった！屈強なインストラクターに支えられて躊躇する間もなく大空へ！
なーんにも考えず、鳥になりました。
説明が全部わからないし、日本のレジャーの説明を期待しちゃダメです。自己責任のレジャーです。沢山の誓約文にイニシャルサインを求められますが、全て日本語。読む暇なかったけど。笑
でも、きっちり読んでやることでもないなと。

ともかく、写真かビデオはおススメです！
うちは、夫が写真とビデオを。わたしは、写真だけを注文！その場でアイホンなら、エアードロップでデータくれます。
ポイントは是非ともカラフルな服装で臨まれるべし^_^。絵的にそれがいい！
高度4200メートルはそら寒いけど、寒がってる暇もない！降りたら暑いから！
半袖で飛んでる人多数。インストラクターさんは結構厚着やったけど、みんなカラフルでした。^_^

日本人ガイドのおじいちゃんは、はじめ、ぶっきらぼうだし、説明少ないし、命令口調だし、な。なんなの！と、思いましたが、なかなか深みのある人生の大先輩で、好き嫌いあるかなと思いますが、仲良くしてもらって損は無し！最後は、この人居てくれてよかった！と、思いました^_^

佐賀から女子4人で参加してるグループと同じグループになって、その中の1人が英語バッチリのステキな女子だったので、彼女らとも仲良くなって、やっぱり旅は道連れ！

インストラクターさんに身体を預け、風の流れに身体を預け、それだけで、地球を自分の目で空から眺められました。
アクセサリーは外して、靴はひもぐつが。あんしんとおもいます。わたしは、デッキシューズぽくて。ぬげちゃうかなとちょっと気になってたけど。大丈夫でした。
帰りの送迎のバスで、パラシュート開いた時にくるくる回された男性が、ゲロゲロ吐いちゃって、、酔いやすい人は注意！寝不足も注意！
あと、耳はいたーーーーーくなる人と痛くなる人と個人差ある模様。どちらの場合も耳が元に戻るのに時間がかかります。笑

チャンスあれば、カラフルな服着て、カメラ目線意識して、また飛びます！
やれて良かった！幸せでした！
夫婦ともに同意見でした！感謝。

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time.

At first, we were nervous and chose the lower plan, but during the explanation of the flight, we quickly switched to the higher plan. Since there was only a $30 difference and the drop time would be more than double, we decided to go for it.

In the end, it was a great decision! It was way scarier than roller coasters or bungee jumping! It was so much fun and became a lifelong memory.

The waiting time mentioned in the reviews might be around 3 hours, but we didn't really feel it because of the excitement, and the time to calm down was actually nice.

It was really fun!! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンの初ハワイで夫婦で参加しました。

最初は慄いて低い方のプランにしましたが
飛ぶ説明の際に高い方に急遽変更。
$30しか変わらないのに
落ちる時間が倍以上になるなら、と。

結果。変更して良かったです！
ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプの方がよっぽど怖いくらいです！
楽しすぎたて一生の思い出になりました。

口コミに書いてある待ち時間は3時間くらいになるかもしれませんが、
ドキドキであんまり体感はなく
逆に落ち着ける時間が良かったです。

ホント楽しかった！！
ありがとうございました！

My first skydiving experience was amazing. The waiting time before it started was filled with tension and anxiety, but once it began, everything progressed smoothly without any waiting.

One downside was that the Japanese instructor who drove us to and from the location was quite a character and funny, but their driving was rough, which made me feel car sick and fearful of an accident.

Other than that, everything was fun. We didn't hire a photographer, but seeing others with one made me think that maybe we should have.

人生初のスカイダイビングは最高でした。始まるまでの待機時間は緊張と不安がおおかったですけど始まってからは待つことなくたんたんと進んでいきました。
少し残念だったのが行きと帰りの送迎の日本人インストラクターの方が個性的な人で面白かったですが運転が荒く車酔いや事故の恐怖が大きかったです。
それ以外は全部楽しかったです。
自分たちはカメラマンを頼みませんでしたが頼んでる人をみたら頼めばよかったかなと思いました。

I had been wanting to try skydiving for a while, and when I found out it was cheaper to do it here than in Japan, I decided to go for it! Since we met early in the morning and it was cold, it's better to avoid short sleeves. When I jumped, it was scarier than I expected, but I thought it was a great experience! Watching the video made me laugh multiple times, so I highly recommend it!

前々からスガイダイビングしてみたいと思っており、調べたら日本でするより安いので決めました！
早朝集合で寒いので半袖はやめた方がいいです。
飛んでみると、思ったより怖かったですがいい経験だと思いました！
ムービーを見ると何度も笑えてくるのでオススメです！

The view from the sky was amazing!! I want to do it again!! I felt like a bird flying right over the ocean!!

空からみる景色は最高でした！！
もう一度したいくらいです！！
海の真上を飛んで鳥になった気分でした！！

It was my second time diving, but it was my first experience at 14,000 feet. The free fall was long and incredibly fun. You absolutely have to try it!

人生２回目のダイビングでしたが
高度14,000ftは初体験でした
フリーフォールが長く めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。絶対にやるべき❗️

I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Hawaii for his birthday, and on our list of activities was this helicopter tour. He has always wanted to ride in a helicopter, and this ended up being the perfect addition to our itinerary. We went on a Friday morning, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming, as well as informative on what to expect. For the approximately hour long flight, our wonderful pilot Margot (my deepest apologies if this is not spelled correctly) gave narrative to what we were seeing, as well as provided jokes and reassurance any time the flight even remotely became rocky. The views were breathtaking, and this was the perfect way to appreciate how green and full of life this island is. We both felt this was more than worth the money, and we enjoyed every moment. It seems like it can get quite chilly up there though, so I would recommend a jacket.

The moment of flying was very scary, but the instructor was fun and I felt at ease. I participated with my colleagues. It became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

飛ぶ瞬間はとても怖かったですが、インストラクターもノリが良くて、安心して食べました。同僚と一緒に参加しました。一生の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

My reservation in Japan was canceled due to bad weather, but I changed my mood and rebooked. The weather is improving, and I'm fully enjoying it and grateful to God.

日本での予約が天候不良でキャンセルになったもの、気分を変えて予約入れ直して再度出来ました。天気も回復するし、充分に満喫し神に感謝です( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I participated with some skepticism, but the thrill of skydiving has become addictive! It was quite crazy.

The local Japanese or Japanese-descendant coordinator explained the tour details during the trip to and from the location, and that was also crazy, which made it fun!

Especially the coordinator's craziness might be a problem if it were in Japan, but I think it's part of the joy of traveling, and the fun feeling outweighs any concerns, so I don't mind at all! (laughs)

If you have a mindset ready to take on challenges and stay excited, I definitely want to do it again!!

Lastly, for those who get car sick, it's best to take motion sickness medication beforehand!!! (laughs)

Everyone around me was throwing up! It was the best!!!

半信半疑で参加しましたが
スカイダイビングの楽しさは
やみつきになりました！
なかなかクレイジーです。

行き帰りとツアー内容を
現地日本人？日系コーディネーター
の方に説明していただきましたが
これまたクレイジーなので
それも含め楽しかったです！

特にコーディネーターの方の
クレイジー感は日本でしていたら
なかなか問題ありかもしれませんが
旅の醍醐味と思うのと
楽しい気持ちが勝っているなので
なんとも思いません！笑

是非ともチャレンジする気持ちを
持って常にワクワクしていたら
またやりたいと思います！！

最後に車酔いなどする方は
酔い止めは全体に飲んで
おいた方がいいです！！！笑

僕の周りは皆んな吐いてました！
最高です！！！

It was my first time skydiving. I participated alone and was a bit anxious since I don't speak English, but there were no problems at all. It was the best experience. It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

人生初めてのスカイダイビング。一人での参加で英語もできないので少し不安でしたが、まったく問題なし。最高の体験ができました。
酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。

There is a Japanese grandfather, so it's basically okay even if you don't understand English. All the instructors are very kind, so you can feel at ease.

You can add options like video recording for an additional fee, but there are about three types, and the details are all in English, which can be difficult to understand, so just be careful about that.

I recommend it because the scenery is overwhelmingly beautiful compared to skydiving in Japan.

日本人のおじいさんがいるので英語がわからなくても基本的には大丈夫です。
インストラクターのみんなも非常に優しい人ばかりなので安心です。

別料金で映像撮影などのオプションを付けることも出来ますが、３種類ほどありその詳細が全部英文で分かりづらいのでそこだけは注意です。

日本でスカイダイビングするよりも圧倒的に景色が綺麗なのでオススメです。

First of all, the driver was interesting and engaged us, which made for a fun time!
During the ride there, I kept signing my initials on a waiver? (Since we were crammed in the car, some people might get motion sickness looking down.)
After arriving, we waited for our briefing before flying.
That wait was long... haha.
We waited for a solid three hours... haha.
When called, we got ready! After that, it went by in a flash.
I purchased both photos and videos (I definitely recommend getting both).
I didn't have enough cash for tips and the locker fee, so I used the ATM inside the building to withdraw cash.
I think preparing about $20 for the driver, $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, and $1 for the locker should be sufficient. However, since the wait time is long, you might want to grab some drinks, so it would be better to prepare a little more. It was a really great experience!
Thank you very much!!

まず運転手の方がおもしろくて声を掛けて下さり楽しい時間を過ごせました！
行きの車の中では誓約書？にイニシャルでひたすらサイン。(車の中ぎゅうぎゅうに座って下見るので酔う人いるかも)
ついてから説明をうけ飛ぶまで待機。
それが長い…笑
3時間ただひたすら待ってました…笑
呼ばれた順に準備！そのあとはあっという間。
写真と動画どちらも購入しました(絶対どっちも購入がオススメです)
チップやロッカーのお金分手持ちのドルが足りず、建物の中にあるATMでキャッシングしました。
ドライバーさんに20ドル、インストラクターさんに20ドル、カメラマンさんに20ドル、ロッカー分1ドル大体このくらい準備すれば足りると思います。ただ待ち時間が長い分飲み物を飲んだりすると思います。その場合もう少し準備して行った方がいいと思います。とてもいい経験が出来ました！
ありがとうございました！！

I had the opportunity to go skydiving for the first time, and it was truly fun! It was an experience unlike any other, and it really capped off my time in Hawaii. Everyone should try it!

はじめてスカイダイビングをさせていただいたのですが、本当に楽しかったです！ 普段は味わえない体験をして本当にハワイを締めくくることができました。みなさんやるべきです。

Meeting at 4:30 AM was a bit tough, but the driver was very good at Japanese. After arriving at the location, there was a room for explanations aimed at Japanese participants, and the service was incredibly attentive and wonderful.

The skydiving instructor provided explanations and practice in both English and Japanese.

Important points are:
1. When taking off, cross your hands, lift your chin, and arch your back.
2. When your shoulder is tapped, raise your hands in a small "V" shape without touching the instructor.
3. When landing, lift your legs, and when prompted, lower your legs and run.

It takes about 15 minutes to reach an altitude of 4,267 meters, but you can see beautiful scenery calmly from the window. By the way, during my jump, I even saw a whale.

Honestly, I was nervous when taking off, but if you follow the instructed position, you'll be fine. Suddenly spinning around made my cheeks jiggle, and I had trouble breathing, but the mountains and ocean spread out before me. Seeing the horizon curve reminded me that the Earth is a sphere.

Below, lush green mountains and the sea spread out, allowing me to deeply appreciate the beauty of nature. It was a brief aerial walk, but I believe it was an invaluable experience. I would love to try it again.

早朝(4:30)の集合で、ちょっとしんどかったりしますが。
ドライバーさんが日本語が上手で、現地到着後、日本人向けの説明部屋があり、非常に丁寧な対応で素晴らしかったです。
また、スカイダイビングのインストラクターの方は、英語と日本語を交えながら、動作の説明と練習を一緒にしてくれます。
重要なポイントは、
１．飛び立つときに手をクロスにして、顎を上げ、エビぞりになる。
２．肩をたたかれたら、手を小さく万歳する。インストラクターを触らない。
３．着地の際、足を上げて、声かけられたら、足を下ろし走る。
高度4267メートルまで到達するのに15分程度かかりますが、窓から落ち着いて素敵な景色が見えます。ちなみに、私の時は、クジラも見えました。
実際、飛び立つ時、ビビりますけど、言われた通りの体勢で挑めば、大丈夫。
いきなり１回転して、頬っぺたの肉がブルブルして、うまく息できませんが、目の前に広がる山と海。地平線が、丸いのを見て、あぁ、地球って球体だったんだと改めて感じることができます。
そして、眼下には、青々とした緑の山と海が広がり、自然の美しさをしみじみと感じることができます。
ひと時の空中散歩でしたが、かけがえのない体験ができたと思います。
また、チャレンジしたいなと思いました。

We had an incredibly valuable experience as a family!
The car arrived 10 minutes before the pickup time, and we read and signed the consent form for diving inside the vehicle. After that, we watched a brief introductory video about skydiving in the car...
Upon arrival, Japanese participants were gathered together, and a guide fluent in Japanese provided explanations. During this time, there was an explanation about the camera and video options, and we made our selections in advance.
After landing, we could check the footage taken and choose whether to purchase one or both options, but I only bought the photos, which cost $171.
After the guide's explanation, names were called in order, and we met our divers and put on our gear. At that time, we received a brief lesson on how to descend and land. Then, as our names were called, we quickly boarded the Cessna and were soon soaring into the sky...
I experienced ear pain due to the pressure changes and felt slightly nauseous even after taking motion sickness medication, but it was such a wonderful experience that I would love to do it again!!!
It seems that the way of jumping and filming varies depending on the diver and the cameraman!
Lastly, I want to mention the tips in advance. It's best to prepare at least $20 for the diver, $20 for the cameraman, and $10 for the driver.
Also, I felt that there wasn't much waiting time, perhaps because we were taking photos and chatting with the guide before and after the jump. We arrived back at the hotel just after 10:30, which was earlier than I expected, so after a nap, we were able to shop and enjoy our time fully.
I definitely want to use this service again! Thank you!

家族全員でとっても貴重な体験をしました！
ピックアップ集合時間10分前には車が来てて 車内でダイビングについての同意書を読みサインをします。その後車内でスカイダイビングについて簡単な紹介ビデオをみて…
到着後は日本人は日本人で集められ、日本語堪能なガイドさんが説明してくれます。その時にカメラとビデオの説明があり 事前に選択します。
降りてきた後に撮影されたものを確認でき どちらを購入するか両方するかを選べるのですが、私は写真のみを買いました。金額は171ドルでした。
ガイドさんからの説明後は、順々に名前が呼ばれ ダイバーさんとご対面し器具を装着します。
その際に簡単に降り方着地の仕方等を教わります。それからは呼ばれたらどんどんセスナに乗り込みあっという間に大空へ…
私は気圧の影響で耳が痛くなったのと 酔い止めを飲んでもなお若干酔いましたが、それでも今はまたやりたいと思うほど素敵な体験でした！！！
ダイバーさんとカメラさんによって 飛び方撮り方は様々みたいです！
最後に事前にお知らせしておきたいのが、チップについてです。ダイバーさんに20ドルカメラマンさんに20ドル運転手さんに10ドル、最低限用意しておいた方が良いです。
あと飛ぶ前も飛んだ後も 写真を撮ったりガイドさんと色々話していたせいか さほど待ち時間はなかったように思います。アクティビティを終えてホテルに着いたのは10時半過ぎでした。思っていたより早かったので お昼寝したのち、買い物などして充分に過ごせました。
また是非利用したいと思います！ありがとうございました！

From the pickup to arrival at the site, there were many signs regarding precautions in case of an accident, which increased my anxiety as I arrived at the airport. I thought we would have about two hours of practice time, but it was only about two minutes, which was surprising. The instructor would return to the ground, fold the parachute, and then go back up with the next customer, repeating this process. I was a bit anxious about whether the parachute would open after being folded for about ten minutes, but I was able to return safely to the ground. I initially planned to just take photos, but encouraged by my wife, I also requested a video, which became a nice keepsake. I definitely recommend requesting a video. Overall, I would like to dive again! By the way, my wife only participated as an observer from the ground.

　ピックアップから現地到着まで、事故が有った際の注意書きへのサイン箇所が多く、不安感が増して空港に到着しました。
　練習時間は２時間位有るのかと思っていましたが、２分位でビックリでした
　インストラクターは地上に戻りパラシュートをたたみ次の客と空へ、の繰り返しでした、１０分位でたたんだパラシュートは開くのか不安にもなりましたが、無事地上に戻る事ができました。
　写真だけのつもりでしたが、妻に勧められムービーも依頼し記念になりました、ぜひムービーを依頼する事をお勧めします。
　総合的にまた、ダイブしたいです！因みに妻は下で見学のみの参加でした。

It was amazing! The shuttle service was reliable, and they spoke Japanese. It was my first time skydiving, and I was very satisfied!

最高でした！
送迎もしっかりしていて日本語が通じ、はじめてのスカイダイビングでしたがとても満足です！

I was anxious about participating with my family, but after reading the reviews, which mentioned no accidents, I decided to give it a try. I became an instructor, but I got spun around so much that I ended up vomiting afterward. I felt sick for a while, so if that hadn't happened, I might have wanted to do it again, but now I'm thinking maybe it's enough for me. However, it was a good experience overall.

家族で参加して不安はあったけど口コミを見て事故も内容だしやってみようとなりました。
インストラクターになりますが、グルグルに回されて、終わってから吐きました。ゲロゲロです。しばらく気分が悪かったのであれが無かったらまたしようと思うけど、もういいかなと思いました。でもいい体験ができました

We all dove together as a family. The kids were very satisfied. The couple had experienced this on their honeymoon, so it was their second time. The weather was great, and the staff's service was excellent. The explanations were thorough, making it comfortable even for beginners. If I had to mention a downside, it's that Japanese people are not accustomed to tipping, so it would be better if tips were included from the start to avoid any resistance. However, for those who are hesitant, I believe the experience is worth it.

家族全員でダイブしました。子供も大満足。夫婦は新婚旅行で経験しているので2回目。天気も良くスタッフの対応も最高でした。説明も丁寧で初心者でも安心ですね。難を言えば　日本人はチップ制度に慣れていないので　最初からチップ込みにして頂ければ抵抗は無いのですが・・・・。でも　悩んでいる方は、経験して損は無いと思います。

Had a blast and we would do it again! It’s a little hard on the ears though.

This was my second time skydiving in my life. The staff were all foreigners, but they taught us in English very politely, and I felt I could trust them with my life. I also booked additional photos, and it was a truly great experience.

人生2回目のスカイダイビングでした。
スタッフの方も皆さん外国の方ですが丁寧に英語で教えてくれるし、この人に命を預けて良い。と頼れるスタッフでした。
写真も追加で予約し、とっても良い経験でした

Absolutely amazing! The meeting time was at 5 AM, and it was cold and I was sleepy... The wait time before skydiving was 2 hours, which was tough, but by late morning the temperature rose, and the instructor was friendly and provided solid support, allowing me to feel safe and trust them! The view from 4,200 meters in the air and the free fall was an experience beyond my imagination. Once the parachute opened, it was wonderful to descend slowly while enjoying the scenery and feeling the wind.

とっても最高！
集合時間が朝の5時で寒くて眠くて…スカイダイビングするまでの待ち時間が2時間あり辛かったけど、昼前には気温も上がりインストラクターも気さくでしっかりサポートしてくれて安心して任せることが出来ました！上空4200メートルからの景色とフリーホールは想像以上の体験でパラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり景色を楽しみながら風を感じながら降りてくるのがすごくよかったです。

I think the satisfaction level will vary depending on the instructor you fly with. If you hit the jackpot, you can experience unimaginable flying techniques and valuable experiences (operations), but if you miss, it's just a matter of falling. It's more nauseating than being on a boat, so it's better to take motion sickness medication.

共に飛ぶインストラクターにより満足度が変わると思います。当たれば想像できない飛び方や貴重な体験(操作)が出来ますが外れるとただ落ちるだけです。
船より酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。

I had always wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, so my husband and I participated together. We were picked up at 5 AM. I had heard from reviews that it takes about an hour to reach the site, but it seemed like there was someone who didn’t make it on time for the meeting, as we kept circling around Waikiki (even an hour later, we were still in Waikiki, picking up someone again at the hotel where I was picked up). I thought it would have been fine to have the meeting time an hour later. In the end, it took just over two hours to reach the site after getting in the car.

We completed reading and signing the contract in the car during the ride, and once we arrived, we listened to the explanation and waited for a while. When our names were called, about eight of us started preparing to board a Cessna. Once on the Cessna, we reached an altitude of 4,200 meters in about 15 minutes! When I asked if we were going to jump from above the clouds, I was told we were still halfway up! Apparently, we were still at half the height above the clouds.

Once we reached the altitude, people started jumping without hesitation. The height was so great that it felt like diving into a picture book! My feelings after jumping were: I was moved to see the roundness of the Earth!! It was a bit cold in a short-sleeved shirt! My mouth was dry! I couldn’t move my hands well (I couldn’t do the throwing kisses like in the videos). My ears hurt! The scenery was beautiful!

I don’t have a strong vestibular system, so I was frequently equalizing my ears even inside the Cessna. Still, my ears hurt during the fall. Once the parachute opened and I had some relief, I quickly equalized my ears, and it got better.

During the parachute descent, I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery! Luckily, I saw a whale in the ocean! It was another moving experience. However, since there were quite a few turns, I recommend those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication. I took some beforehand, so I was fine.

Also, opting for the video was a great decision! It cost $170. I received the data directly on my phone, so I could upload it to Instagram right away. The cameraman had various ways of filming, but my husband’s camera work was really good, capturing both the background and our flying poses perfectly, making it one of my favorite videos. I feel moved every time I watch it.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a huge adrenaline rush! I want to jump again. Thank you!

スカイダイビングは一生に一度はやってみたいと思っていたので、夫婦で参加しました。
早朝5時にピックアップ。口コミで1時間ほどで現地に到着と伺っていたのですが、集合時間に間に合わなかった人がいたのか、ワイキキ周辺をぐるぐる（一時間後もまだワイキキにおり、自分がピックアップされたホテルで再度ピックアップしていた）それなら集合時間1時間遅くて良かったのにと思いました。
結局車に乗ってから計2時間ちょっとで現地につきました。
契約書を読んだり、サインするのは移動中の車の中で済ませ、到着したら説明を聞いて、しばし待機。
名前を呼ばれたひとから、8名くらいで1セスナといった感じで準備を始め、セスナ機へ乗っていきます。セスナに乗ってからは15分くらいで4200メートル地点へ到達できます！雲の上に到達した時に、ここから飛ぶの？と聞いたらまだハーフだよ！と。雲の上でまだ半分の高さだそうです。
到達してからは、ちゅうちょせずにどんどん人が飛んでいきます。高度が高すぎて、絵本の中に飛び込んでいく感覚でした！
落ちてからの感情は
地球は丸いのが見えて感動！！半袖なのですこし寒い！口が乾く！うまく手を動かせない（投げキッスとかする映像のようにはできなかった）耳が痛い！
景色綺麗！　です。
私は三半規管が強くはない方なので、セスナ機の中でもこまめに耳抜きをしていました。それでも落下中は耳が痛くなりました。パラシュート開いて余裕ができたので、急いで耳抜きしたら治りました。
パラシュート中はゆっくり景色を見ることができましたよ～！私はラッキーなことに海にクジラをみました！またまた感動でした。
ただ、結構旋回をするので、酔いたすい人は酔い止め服用をお勧めします。私は事前に酔い止めを飲んだので大丈夫でした。
あと、オプションで動画を頼んだのはよかったです！170ドルでした。
データで直接携帯にももらえるので、すぐにインスタにもアップできました。
カメラマンによって取り方はさまざまですが、旦那のほうのカメラワークがとっても上手で背景と飛んでいる姿をばっちり納めてくれていてとってもお気に入りの動画になりました。いつ見ても感動します。
とにかくアドレナリン大放出のすばらしい経験でした！また飛びたいです。
ありがとうございました！

It was really amazing! The experience during free fall and the control after the parachute opened, as well as the views, were all incredibly fun. The instructors were also very enjoyable, making it worth the trip. The waiting time after arriving at the airfield was a bit long, but I still want to go again.

ホントにサイコーでした！
フリーフォール中やパラシュートが開いた後の操縦体験や景色、全部めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。
インストラクターの方々もとても楽しくて行った甲斐が有りました。
飛行場に着いてからの待ち時間がちょっと長いけどそれでもまた行きたいです。

I had the best and most valuable experience!!
The driver, who also took care of us, was an incredibly kind and unique grandfather, and he was really funny (laughs).
The instructors and cameramen who flew with us were truly professionals, and I felt safe while flying.
It was really fun!!
Thank you very much ^ ^

最高で貴重な体験が出来ました！！
ドライバー兼私たちのお世話をしてくださったおじいちゃん。とっても優しくて個性的で、面白かったです（笑）
一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターやカメラマンの方たちは本当にプロで、安心して飛ぶことが出来ました。
本当に楽しかったです！！
ありがとうこざいました^ ^

I went by rental car instead of using the shuttle service. The location of the airport was clearly marked, so it wasn't particularly difficult to find (although I did pass it once).

Even though I went in December, which is during the rainy season, we were blessed with clear skies and no wind—it was perfect! Since it was a special experience, I requested a combination of photos and videos.

There were two options for filming: one where the instructor holds a GoPro (which is a bit cheaper) and another where an additional cameraman flies around and captures footage from various angles (which is fairly expensive). This time, I chose to have the external shots taken.

When you request filming, they will take the footage for you, but if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it (especially since sometimes the wind pressure can make your face look strange in the video). The price is relatively high, so it would be disappointing to end up with an awkward expression, so I thought this was a good service. However, since there is an additional cameraman flying around, they do ask that if you request filming, you at least purchase either the images or the video.

Filming takes place from before you board the plane until after you land. Before flying, they do an interview in front of the airport. Since I went with my spouse, they filmed both of us (we each had a cameraman, so there were two different patterns). After the parachute opens, the cameraman descends first and waits on the ground. Once we land, they film us again in an interview format.

Now, about the airport experience...

When you arrive at the airport, you first watch a safety video and sign a waiver. When I mentioned I was Japanese, I was relieved to find that both the video and the documents were in Japanese. The documents contain a lot of scary information, but that’s to be expected. Sometimes they check your identity with your passport or driver's license, but if you use the shuttle service, a copy is fine. The staff advised me not to carry my passport around.

Since some people apparently leave without paying after flying when they arrive by rental car, you have to leave your ID with them.

After that, you just wait for your name to be called. The planes are constantly taking off and landing, and the instructors efficiently pack the parachutes in preparation for the next dive.

When my name and assigned instructor were called, the preparations began. We joked around, saying things like, "Is this your first time?" "It's my first time too!" and then it was finally time to board.

As we ascended (for about 15 minutes), the instructor attached the harness, and then we were off! There was no time to be scared; we jumped right out.

The free fall was intense with the wind pressure, but I could feel the air in my hands and enjoyed the scenery. After the parachute opened, we descended slowly while taking in the view, with the guide pointing out various mountains and bays.

After landing, the video and photos were available to view in about five minutes, so we headed to the movie room. During that time, I wrote a message to the instructor and cameraman who assisted us and placed a tip in the box.

After watching the video, if you liked it, you could purchase it. The video was edited and turned out really well. Both my spouse and I purchased both photos and videos.

The data can be received via USB, but you can also receive it through AirDrop beforehand.

Finally, we took a photo with everyone who flew with us and then parted ways.

It was an incredibly good experience. Thank you!

送迎でなくレンタカーで行きました。飛行場の場所は看板もあり特にわかりづらいという事はありませんでした。(一度通り過ぎましたが)

雨季に当たる12月に行ったものの晴天に恵まれて風もなく最高でした！
せっかくの体験なので写真とビデオのコンビをお願いしました。

価格は違いますが、インストラクターが手に持ったGo Proで撮影するパターン(ちょっとだけ安い)と、もう1人カメラマンが飛んで周りからひたすら撮影するパターン(まぁまぁ高い)の2種類がありました。
今回は外から撮ってもらうことにしました。

撮影をお願いすると撮ってもらえますが、気に入らない場合は買わなくていいそうです(特に動画は風圧で変な顔になっててとても…と言う場合があるからだそう)
価格も割とするので変な顔だと残念なのでいいサービスだと思いました。
ただ、もう1人カメラマンに飛んでもらっているので撮影をお願いした場合はせめて画像、動画のどちらかは購入するようにお願いがありました。

撮影については飛行機に乗り込む前から降りた後までで、飛ぶ前は飛行場の前でインタビュー的なことをやってくれます。今回は夫婦で行ったので2人で撮ってくれました。(2人ともカメラマンをつけたので2パターン)
パラシュートを開いた以降はカメラマンは先に降りて地上でスタンバイしてます。降りたらまたインタビュー形式で撮ってくれます。
撮影の話はこれくらいにして…

飛行場についたらまず、安全のためのムービーと誓約書的な書類にサインします。日本人だと告げるとムービーも書類も日本語なので安心です。書類は怖いこといっぱい書いてますがまぁそんなもんでしょう。
身分を確認するためにパスポートか免許証を確認する時がありますが、送迎の場合はコピーでいいそうです。パスポートは持ち歩かない方がいいよとスタッフに念を押されました。
レンタカーで行くと、飛んだあと支払わずに帰る人がいるらしいので身分証を預けます。

あとは名前を呼ばれるのを待つだけです。
飛行機はひっきりなしに飛んでは降りてを繰り返し、インストラクター達は出際よくパラシュートを畳み次のダイブに備えます。

自分の名前と担当のインストラクターをコールされ、準備が始まります。
君初めて？俺も初めて！みたいなジョークを交えながらワイワイやってたらいよいよ搭乗です。

上昇しながら(15分くらい)インストラクターとハーネスをくっつけて、いざ！
怖がる暇もなく、有無を言わさずポンポン飛びます。

自由落下は風圧はすごいですが、手に空気を感じながら…景色も楽しめました。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり景色を楽しみながら飛行場目指して降りていきます。あの山がなんだ…この湾がなんだ…とガイドしてくれました。

降りてからは、５分ほどでムービーと写真が観れるようになるのでムービールームへ
それまでに担当してくれたインストラクターとカメラマンにメッセージを書いて、お礼のチップをボックスに入れます。

ムービー等を見て、良かったら購入する流れになります。
ムービーは編集してくれていてとてもいい仕上がりでした。
夫婦とも写真も動画もどちらも購入しました。

データはUSBで貰えますが、先立ってエアドロップでも受け取ることが可能です。

最後に飛んでくれたみんなと写真を撮って解散しました。

非常に良い経験になりました。ありがとうございました。
